TYPO3 Developer Days 2016 and 2017
Before heading of into quarter 4 of 2016 we take one step back and two steps forward with the Developer Days. This years Developer Days 2016 was as successful as developer days are. Held for the second time in youth hostel on a hill in Nuremberg it was again pretty perfect. The great advantage of the youth hostel is that everyone is in the same building for the duration of the event, providing a good bonding experience. Perfect also describes Latte Art champion and Barista extraordinaire <link https: www.facebook.com baristachristianullrich>Christian Ullrich, who was there almost all of the time serving coffee and getting creative with everyone’s coffee.
